As a starting point I've done some pencil drawings. They are based on Walking Tours of German cities, from the Lonely Planet guide book series. Below are Weimar and Dresden. The line follows the route of the Walking Tour, all other details are absent. I'm interested in the idea of directing, and being directed through space.

Thinking about the art historical context of some of the woodland and lake areas outside of Dresden. These areas were of course ~~used~~ by the Fauvists ~~(and others associated with Expressionism) as~~ a ~~place where~~ they could enjoy nature and the company of others while also creating, and furthering the ideas behind their art.

Thinking about the art historical context of some of the woodland and lake areas outside of Dresden. These areas were of course frequented by artists involved in German Expressionism, such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Br%C3%BCcke die Bruecke] and the [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauvism Fauvists]. For these artists, it was a setting in which they could enjoy nature and the company of others while also creating, and furthering the ideas behind their art. These ideas included the embracing of Primitivism and the human form as an object of expression.

I'm interested in how such areas could allow diverse histories to play out in real time and space. In this case, looking at human presence, ephemeral and emotive qualities such as idealism and ~~the embracement of~~ primitivism as a kind of ~~architecture~~.

I'm interested in how such areas could allow diverse histories to play out in real time and space. In this case, looking at human presence, ephemeral and emotive qualities such as idealism and primitivism as a kind of moving, fluid set of principals that change the way that people inhabit space.
